Environment

  • Platform (select one):
  • [ ] Anthropic API
  • [ ] AWS Bedrock
  • [ ] Google Vertex AI
  • [ x] Other: Windows
  • Claude CLI version: 1.0.56
  • Operating System: Windows 10+

Bug Description

In Claude Code, CTRL+ENTER produces a new line in the editor. However, on Windows, the standard for this is SHIFT+ENTER. This causes usability issues and often makes the user accidentally submit data before they are ready.

In fact, it's confusing my brain personally when entrering text now, and I just hit CTRL+ENTER in this window, which submitted the bug before I was ready.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Type something
  3. Hit the Windows combination for a new line without submitting (SHIFT+ENTER)
  4. Watch Claude submit the text for you before you were ready.

Expected Behavior

I expect SHIFT+ENTER to add a new line in the Windows editor

Actual Behavior

It submits the text instead.
